Beijing, China

So finallly I have managed to gather a few of the photos I have taken on our trip so far and added them to my blog yipeee! Sorry about the wait, but with bad internet connections this side of the world it can be pretty challenging! So starting with Beijing...where do I start?? Well firstly this part of the trip was very special as my boyfriend proposed on bended knee on the Emperors walkway in the Forbidden City!! So that started the trip off on a very exciting note :) :) Beijing as a city is definately the most different city I have been to where as a tourist you stick out a mile away and we kept on getting so many stares from the local people! Beautiful buildings abound and the Forbidden City was awesome and huge! The Temple of Heaven was also so ornate and I couldn't stop clicking away! The cuisine was ahem different as we were expecting (check out the creepy crawlies on offer at the night market below!) and their customs and way of life were nothing like I had ever experienced which was just great! I LOVE learning about other cultures and seeing different things! we also enjoyed a Chinese acrobatic show and went to visit the Pandas (aah) and then of course there was the Great Wall - shoo what a hike but soo worth it! Below are just a selection of my Beijing photos, I hope you enjoy them!
